Talk me out of an emag.

[GT]

I have owned everthing except a timmy. I want a gun I can play with the rest of my life, I find that the only gun that fits the bill is an emag. What do you guys think, emag or something else?

[Warewolf50]

e-mag, i got rid of mine a while back, and i miss it soo much.

[Night$tryker]

ya emag i have shot one about two times at they would make a great gun. I am getting a ule

[slade]

hmm, i shot a freestyle and xmag one after the other, and liked the freestyle a lot more... but hey, get whatever fits you best, if you prefer an emag get it... and sort of off-topic i just realized that emag backwards is game.

[teufelhunden]

DM5 or Alias.

These are both the pinnacles in paintball technology. They both rip, they're both efficient, they're both light, both are consistent/accurate... and they both outperform an E-Mag.

Buy Mine! They are totally worth it!

Honestly, I owned and had experience with basically every gun out there. And AGD guns are my favorite, party b/c of the AO group as well. But I sold my Timmy just to go back to a mech mag. And I never regreted it. As of now I own a Xmag and I love it! The gun is so simple, you don't need ACE, lvl 10 works wonders. You don't have to worry bout losing a day's game b/c your electronics died, thank god for M mode. I know this will be my permanent gun.

How many more markers do you want to buy after this one? If the answer in none, then certainly get the Emag. It, like amost all of AGD's markers will last a lifetime...maybe longer.

i feel the same way about mags, ive shot basically every type of marker out there, but have always prefered my mags. i have 4 mags right now and love them all, but due to the fact that im in college im going to have to sell 2 of them off. though im selling thesemarkers off, i plan on keeping my ule rt and the sfl because ive never had them let me down unlike many other markers ive tried.

You werent the first (they dont sell these anymore but look at the mousepad)

[Steelrat]

You already had a gun you could play with forever, the viking. Much as I liked my e and x mags, its not even close.

i disagree teufelhunden.
nearly every paintball marker over 900 dollars perform nearly the same. after you spend that much its nearly all preference. they all shoot at disgusting rates of fire, they're all consistent, they're all accurate depending on your barrel and paint and theyre at least moderately consistent.
if you want to be different than all those fad guns that everyone and their dog plays with, get an xmag/emag. they're smaller than an alias/dm4-5, more reliable, and just as accurate. and if you don't like the standard mouseclick trigger pull then you can just go in hybrid mode and go insane, and if you don't like that either, just take out the battery and go manual. what more could you want?
wow, i wish i was paying an extra $300 for a board or (cheat board) that goes 30 bps or whatever, since i'll only probably realistically reach 15bps consistently in game and especially when the only loader capable of reaching 30bps plus is the Q-loader, and we all see how many of those are around......but thats a lot of what you pay for when you buy a timmy and maybe dm4 ( i don't know much about those)
if you want staying power, i'd probably get a mag. mags have been around for almost 15 years, and it doesn't show too many signs of disappearing. the design is simple, reliable and proven. its not uncommon to hear of people taking 7 yearold mags out of a closet and going straight to the field with no problems. do that with a dm4.....
with mags, you don't pay for hype, and you don't pay for a bunch of gadgets you'll never ever use. you pay for a high quality marker and features that are significant.
i'm not saying that dm4's and alias' and timmies are bad. they're not, they're great and very popular for a reason. But every other year theres some newer, better timmy/dm4 coming out that has a board capable of 5 bps more (not that it matters....) or that has some better, newer milling/annodizing than the last, and and before you know it you own a 2 yearold marker thats almost 4 generations old andalready hopelessly left behind. i'm just saying thats not too good for staying power. for staying power and a marker that won't let you down for years, a mag is probably a little bit of a smarter choice. Mags have all interchangeable upgrades so even the oldest mag can be as good as the very latest.
Thats just a my realistic evaluation

Seeing as how E-mags have been discontinued they don't really have any staying power do they?

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
